    Dishwasher drain error
    Abhishek S.

    I would strongly caution anyone considering this service. Save your time, money, and stress. I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was extremely frustrating and deserves to be shared. They spent a lot of time "checking things," but nothing meaningful was done. In the end, they took the money, gave a faulty diagnosis, and left me with the same problem I started with. I was patient and willing to work with them, but the lack of professionalism, accountability, and follow-through is unacceptable.

    Text from February 2025 when my original washer broke

    This was my go to appliance repair company for about three years now but the past couple experiences have been bad so I am leaving a lukewarm review as a cautionary tale for those seeking an honest opinion. The immediate issue prompting this review is that I had an issue with a washing machine at my rental property in February last year (2025). Called Aiden (I think he goes by Adam now based on responses I'm seeing on here) and he quoted $380 for the parts (capacitor and control board) and another $300 for labor. Then he mentioned that they have a warehouse and could sell me a similar refurbished unit and it would be $800 all in to buy and have it delivered and installed. I agreed since we had a good working relationship to that point. Well, the machine broke this past week and he is saying that the part needed (main bearing for the basket?) is no longer available and proceeded to offer to sell me a different machine to replace the defective one. I no longer trusted his word so I just bought a replacement machine from Home Depot and tacked on the 5 year extended coverage policy. The other recent bad experience I had with this company is when my tenant at another property was complaining about water coming up from the air gap from his dishwasher a couple months ago in February. Aiden told me the garbage disposal was the main culprit but that I needed to replace the dishwasher pump. Charged $83 for the pump and $350 for labor and said he could replace the disposal for an additional $500. I passed on getting the disposal changed because I knew my regular plumber would charge less. After they replaced the pump Aiden tells me they need to replace the water line as well for $90 and I said OK. After they replaced that line the tenant texted me and said that water was continuing to come out of the air gap. Problem was finally fixed when my plumber replaced the disposal (for $300). This made me think that the pump replacement was completely unnecessary and a waste of my money. Leaving a 3 star review because I had a good experience with them prior to this year and Aiden seems to be a nice guy but definitely would not recommend buying their appliances and will no longer be doing business with them.

    This was by far one of the worst experiences I've ever had with a service company. I always give…read morecredit where it's due and write plenty of positive reviews, but this company earned the opposite. I requested a closer ETA so I could be available for the appointment. Instead, there was no courtesy call or text to say they were on their way. They showed up unannounced, blew up my phone, and repeatedly rang my doorbell while I was on a work call. By the time I responded and let them know I was on my way, they told me they had already left. When I tried to calmly discuss the situation, they took it as "arguing" and responded in an extremely condescending and combative tone, even making a veiled threat about my choice of words. They then claimed they would be charging me a "no-show" fee, despite failing to provide the basic courtesy of letting me know they were arriving. I have worked with many companies in this field and have never encountered such unprofessionalism, rudeness, and lack of respect for a customer's time. I would never recommend this company to anyone. There are far better businesses out there that value their clients, communicate clearly, and conduct themselves with professionalism.

    I want to preface this review with the following: First, there are decent people at this company…read more The receptionist, Emily, and the service tech, Omar, are very nice and I want to believe that they care. Secondly, I want to preface this saying that this was all for service that was under warranty, so I won't be able to review their pricing, since the cost to me was nothing but my time. I initially had an issue where my Speed Queen washing machine would not power on. I did all easy checks (breaker, plug, etc) and decided to call Speed Queen since the machine was still under warranty. They assigned me to Kemper Appliance. They initially came out quite quickly and diagnosed the issue as the control board. They ordered that part, which I am aware is a specialty part requiring a week to arrive. So, the part arrived the following Monday and their tech replaced it quickly in about 15 minutes. The tech left and we proceeded to do laundry the next day (Tuesday). At this point, we immediately noticed that when filling, the machine would make a loud screeching sound and stop mid-cycle, leaving clothes with soap on them and the machine reporting a fill error. I called on Wednesday morning and expressed my concerns that had the tech merely run a cycle, he would have heard the valves immediately and spoke to the owner, who said I would receive a call back to schedule. No call came. I called back on Friday to inquire and they told me that I was on schedule for Monday, even though I was not given this time. Incidentally the time was fine with me. I expressed my frustration to Emily, who was very understanding, and she said she would reach out to the owner, Soumya, who would reach back out to me. In my business, when we mess up a customer's order, they get put to the top of the pile and other customers have to wait. It's uncomfortable to explain to our customers, but it's the price we pay when we make a mistake. In this case, the tech did not test the machine beyond powering it on. The owner disputes this, but I was there for the duration of the service call, and a cycle is longer than the service call duration, so it is impossible that it was tested. Soumya never calls me back and instead I get another call from Emily instructing me to email Soumya. I take the time to write an email to put my concerns into a format acceptable to her. Keep in mind, nothing is on Yelp at this point and I am hoping to get this resolved amicably. She responds to my email basically taking no responsibility and alleging a test was done and that new issues can arise. I understand new issues arise. I would have understood if they said they needed to get more parts after finding the next issue. The problem is that we had almost another week of delay because they did not test and were not willing to own up to their mistake and get me scheduled quickly. She even tells me I can contact Speed Queen to get another servicer, but obviously, since it is Friday, no one will come sooner than Monday anyway. So, the tech comes out on Monday and takes another look and decides to order a valve. This takes another week. Now, I would argue that this is a less-specialized part that should have been on-hand since they are an authorized servicer, but I will let that slide since they're a small company and at this point, what can you do? After the part arrives, they schedule me for the following Tuesday to replace the valve. All seems good. We do some more laundry and now, only hot water will dispense even if we run it on cold. I check our water pressures and water heater temperature before calling again on a Friday. I assume we have all of this past us when I call and ask if they will come again. Emily speaks with the owner and they say to her that they will call Speed Queen on Monday to get me another servicer. Bear in mind, Speed Queen is still open and I say to them that they should call today to get this resolved quickly. I think if Kemper had been more respectful of my time, the least they could do is call that day to get another servicer. But no, that's too much for them. So I say that I would appreciate they call today or else I would call Speed Queen and explain the service issues that I have had with them and that I would request an alternate servicer myself. Emily says she will talk to the owners. At this point, if the owners had just called me and apologized, this could have resolved everything. But they have so much ego that they can't bring themselves to speak to a customer. So, the receptionist calls me back and says that they will not call Speed Queen today or Monday and that I am free to leave whatever feedback I like. So, with their blessing, I present this review to you all. I gave this company many opportunities to the right thing. I understood new issues popped up. What I can't abide is them not respecting my time and not owning their mistakes. This review could have been avoided so easily.

    I don't write reviews lightly, but Oceanside Appliance earned this one…read more Our refrigerator had been down for five days. After waiting those five days, I learned that the first company I contacted still could not provide an appointment for another two weeks. That may work for some situations, but not for a refrigerator that was already down. I also contacted a couple of other repair companies and found myself spending far too much time dealing with automated systems without ever reaching a real person. By comparison, Oceanside Appliance was refreshingly easy to contact. Whether through their website, email, or phone, I was able to quickly get information to someone who listened and responded. At 4:30 PM, I contacted Oceanside Appliance and provided the model number, serial number, and a detailed description of what the refrigerator was doing and not doing. Hector took the time to review the information and make sure Wade had everything he needed before the appointment. Based on the symptoms, they were already thinking ahead about possible causes and the parts that might be needed. The next day at 3 PM, Wade texted that he was on the way and arrived exactly as promised. From the moment he arrived, it was obvious I was dealing with someone who knew what he was doing. He listened, confirmed the symptoms, quickly diagnosed the issue, and, most importantly, came prepared. Because he had reviewed the information beforehand, he had already brought the parts he believed would most likely be needed. Fortunately, he had the correct parts in his truck. There was no need to order parts, no return visit, and no additional delays. In less than an hour, the repair was completed and the refrigerator was back in service. What impressed me most about Wade was his professionalism, efficiency, and respect for the customer's time. He wasn't interested in wasting time or creating another appointment. He came prepared, solved the problem, and got the refrigerator running properly again. The price was fair, and I was more than happy to pay it considering the level of service, preparation, and quick resolution. Before leaving, Wade gave me his card and told me to call if there were any issues the next morning and they would come right back out. Fortunately, there was no need. The next morning the refrigerator was holding a steady 34°F instead of the 49°F it had been struggling to maintain during the previous five days. What really impressed me was what happened afterward. As I was preparing this review, I received a follow-up message from Mike checking to make sure everything was still working properly and asking if there were any issues or anything else they could help with. That kind of follow-up service is becoming increasingly rare and speaks volumes about how they treat their customers after the job is done. Thank you to Hector for making sure Wade had the information he needed before the appointment, a special thank you to Wade for the kind of service customers hope for but rarely receive anymore, and to Mike for following up afterward to ensure everything was still operating as it should. In a world where good customer service seems harder and harder to find, Oceanside Appliance reminded me what it looks like when a company communicates well, prepares properly, shows up when promised, follows through, and gets the job done right the first time. Highly recommended.

    1 star. Bait-and-switch pricing, and an owner who hangs up on you…read more I requested a quote. Mark quoted a flat $80 inspection fee, then followed up with a separate message advertising $30 off. Nowhere did that message say the discount was conditional. So I booked expecting $50. The tech showed up -- genuinely professional, no complaints about him at all -- and then told me the $30 off only applies if I go ahead with the repair. That is not what I was told. I paid the full $80 because I wasn't going to argue with the guy doing the work. I messaged them on Yelp to say the wording is misleading and should be fixed. What I got back was a phone call from the owner telling me *I* failed to read and understand his messages. When I pushed back, he hung up on me. And here's the part that stings: I'd seen another reviewer complain about the exact same thing before I booked. I dismissed it. That was my mistake. It's a pattern, not a one-off. If your promo needs a phone call and a lecture to explain, the promo is the problem -- not the customer. Take your money somewhere the price is the price.

I think we may have had a flukey experience since this company came recommended by a friend and they had a great experience. Igor was great (he is the senior technician that finally came out after many complaints and frustration). Maybe request him from the get-go to have a better overall experience. I wish I could give 0 stars. Avoid this company at all costs. This was one of the most frustrating experiences I have had trying to get my washing machine fixed. Our washer wasn't draining so we called Steve's appliance repair and they sent out a technician next day. He said needed to order a part and would come back when it arrived. 2 days later he came out and "fixed" the machine, but the first time we used it, it was still having the exact same issue. I called them 4 times over the course of the next 2 days to see when they could come out again and each time they said they would call me back... never did. I finally karen'ed them on the phone and they agreed to send someone next day. Well guess what, it's next day and they just called to say the technician is sick and they are not sure when he will be able to come out. They are offering no solution, and when I requested that they just close my file so I can use another service, they said no. We have now had a broken washer for a week and after many phone calls and texts, I am beyond frustrated and will never use this company again.
